Investment Thesis

Why Puerto Rico. Why now.

Puerto Rico is the most strategically undervalued jurisdiction in the U.S. federal system for science infrastructure investment. Act 60 tax incentives, U.S. contracting eligibility, Caribbean geography, and a growing regulatory framework create asymmetric opportunity.

Corporate Tax Rate

Act 60 incentive structure vs. 21% federal + state rates on the mainland. Significant capital preservation.

Federal Jurisdiction

Full access to federal contracting vehicles, SAM.gov registration, and domestic preference programs.

Caribbean Gateway

Strategic positioning for USAID, DOD SouthCom, and federal environmental operations across the basin.

$B+

Federal Pipeline

Billions in annual FEMA, USACE, EPA spend in PR and Caribbean territories.

Tax Advantage

The Act 60 advantage.

On $1M in annual revenue, the structural tax savings under Act 60 are substantial — and compound every year.

Competitive Advantage

What makes Aureon different.

Most competitors have one angle. We have four structural advantages that compound.

Operator, Not Advisor

20+ years building and operating regulated infrastructure — not consulting on it. GMP-grade biotech facilities, ISO-compliant laboratories, 17 licenses across 8 jurisdictions, and 30+ facility buildouts. We've built and scaled the exact systems we're deploying.

Tax-Advantaged Structure

Act 60 creates an 85% tax reduction vs. mainland operations. Every dollar of revenue retains $0.96 vs. $0.73 on the mainland. The savings compound across all three portfolio companies.

Federal + Commercial Dual Track

Registered for federal contracts (SAM.gov, CAGE code, 8 NAICS) while building commercial revenue streams. Two independent revenue engines from the same infrastructure investment.

Geographic Monopoly Dynamics

Puerto Rico's island market has natural barriers to entry. Limited lab capacity, limited biotech infrastructure, and growing regulatory mandates create near-monopoly conditions for first movers.

Portfolio Companies

Three companies. One platform.

Each company operates independently while sharing infrastructure, compliance frameworks, and institutional knowledge.
